Kennett Chocolate Festival benefits United Way

February is the month for Valentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day is a holiday that has chocolate as a major component.

So, the United Way of Southern Chester County has come up with a new event to celebrate chocolate. The inaugural Kennett Chocolate Lovers Festival will be held this Saturday from 1-4 p.m. at the Red Clay Room in Kennett Square.

The ultra-sweet event will feature hundreds of chocolate treats for attendees to sample, including brownies, candies, cakes, cookies and cupcakes. Making it even sweeter is the fact that the festival is being held as a benefit for the United Way of Southern Chester County.

Culinary professionals from around the area, as well as a number of amateurs will be presenting their finest chocolate creations and vying for the right to claim being the best in Southern Chester County.
